Table 1. Availability - Legacy plans


Overview

All users on all account types can use Board view.

Board view allows you to view all the tasks and task-based custom items in a project, folder, or space in a simple layout, which reflects their status. Tasks and task-based custom items are represented by cards listed under the relevant status.

Within the Board view, you can:

The Board view consists of columns representing different statuses in the current workflow. In each column, there are cards representing tasks and task-based custom items.

Each card is displayed under the relevant status and displays:

  1. Task or task-based item name 1.

  2. Assignee(s) 2.

  3. Subtasks and subitems (which can be clicked and expanded) 3.

  4. Due date 4.

Clicking on a card opens the relevant task or task-based item in Item View which allows you to adjust all its details, add descriptions and comments, share items with teammates, and add approvals and files.
